Vintage 1950s Hand-Wired Gold Bead Cluster Earrings

A truly exceptional pair of earrings, showcasing the pinnacle of mid-century American costume jewelry craftsmanship. These are not simple, cast pieces; they are wearable sculptures. Each of the dozens of gilt metal beads has been meticulously and individually hand-wired onto the frame to create a lush, three-dimensional cluster with incredible texture and movement. This highly skilled and labor-intensive technique was the hallmark of only the most exclusive New York design houses of the 1950s. A rare find for the discerning collector who recognizes superior quality.
